LIGHT AS A CONSTRUCTIVEELEMENT

• Since half of the twentieth century, artists who work with light have emerged, and with light itself, in their artwork.

• As in all artistic activity it´s going to search to move the viewer, generating very different feelings in him to the contemplating of the works or even to join them.????

LIGHT AS A CONSTRUCTIVEELEMENT

• Currently, works that combine light (flashlights, lighters, xenon lights, LED color, ..) and photography are being created .
